Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1841
Chapter 1838 The Grand Finale
The instant the Dark Sect Master’s eyes transformed into emerald serpent eyes, her body abruptly froze.
A mournful cry filled with resentment and unwillingness emanated from within her, causing the stars to dim, the sun and moon to lose their light, and the world to change color.
“Ah! I am not reconciled! I have clearly reached this point!”
“I was originally the most perfect being! I am their fusion, and the chaos of this world should have been ended by me!”
“Li Luo! Li Luo!!”
Li Luo listened calmly to the unwilling cry emanating from Li Lingjing’s body, and said lightly, “You were just a mistake. I promised Xiao’e that I would help her correct the mistake you were born from her.”
“Then, farewell.”
Li Luo slowly stomped down with the Rank Scepter he gripped tightly. The will of the world activated, and an invisible hand descended, piercing through Li Lingjing’s body, directly seizing the Dark Sect Master’s last consciousness.
The hand of the will of the world suddenly clenched.
The mournful cry abruptly ceased.
The winds of the world seemed to cease in that instant.
Utter silence.
Not a single sound rang out.
But the terrifying aura that had once dominated the heavens and earth began to dissipate, mingling with the growing excitement on the faces of countless beings.
At this moment, the Dark Sect Master had finally fallen!
All living beings could clearly feel the destructive pressure that had hung over them recede. They knew what had happened, but they still couldn’t quite believe it.
They feared it was just an illusion.
The Dark Sect Master, who had nearly plunged the Ten Divine Continents into destruction, who had instilled despair and fear in so many Heavenly Kings, had truly fallen?!
The silence lasted for an unknown length of time, until finally, countless suppressed sobs rose throughout the Divine Continent. No one could imagine the terror and despair the beings of the world had felt when the Dark Sect Master was about to seize control of the world.
Boom!
The next moment, the sobs transformed into earth-shattering cheers and applause.
Countless beings were overwhelmed with joy, tears streaming down their faces—the ecstatic relief of surviving a catastrophe. They were now wildly venting their pent-up fear, their emotions running high.
The entire world seemed to tremble at that moment.
This world-ending calamity had finally come to an end.
The winds rose and the clouds shifted, as dawn tore through the clouds, illuminating every corner of the Divine Land.
Li Luo gazed at the woman before him. The coldness that had settled on her beautiful yet alluring face had completely melted away, replaced by a deep bewilderment in her cyan snake eyes.
Her red lips parted slightly as she looked at the man before her, her voice low and indistinct: “Li… Li Luo?”
Li Luo smiled gently.
“Cousin Lingjing, welcome back.”
The bewilderment in Li Lingjing’s eyes gradually faded. From the memories remaining in her body, she understood everything. She remained silent for a long time before finally breaking into a soft smile.
“Thank you.”
She gazed at the man before her with a complex expression. She hadn’t expected that this young man, who had entered her darkest world during her most desperate moments, would reach this point years later.
Even this chaos that had raged for countless years would end in his hands.
He would undoubtedly become the most magnificent legend in this world.
“For the foreseeable future, I’ll need my cousin to help me oversee the Dark World. Evil hasn’t been completely eradicated, and there will still be otherworldly beings emerging,” Li Luo waved his hand and smiled.
Li Lingjing didn’t say much, only nodding slightly in agreement.
Li Luo then turned his head, his gaze fixed on the Dark World.
With his current rank and realm, he could naturally see through it. It was a world that was two sides of the same coin as the Divine Continent, both inherently good and evil.
Whenever the beings of the Divine Continent experienced negative emotions, these emotions would transform into evil, accumulating in the Dark World until reaching a certain point and erupting, forming another calamity.
At that time, what might be born wouldn’t be otherworldly beings, but rather other evil creatures.
This was a natural law.
Therefore, it is impossible to completely eliminate the negative emotions of living beings, but it is possible to resolve them in other forms.
Li Luo’s eyes were filled with contemplation, and finally, blood dripped from his fingertips, falling into the dark world and transforming into towering golden towers, seemingly echoing with the sounds of Buddhist chants.
“Human beings possess both good and evil. I now forge the image of merit. People cultivate themselves, cultivating the power of merit to eliminate their own evil thoughts, sever their inner demons, and ascend to the Great Dao.”
Li Luo’s grand whisper resounded in the hearts of every living being in the world.
As the sovereign of the world, he established new laws for the path of cultivation.
Evil thoughts cannot be eradicated; only through merit, which represents good, can they be eliminated. When the two are balanced, the world will naturally be at peace.
“Homage to the sovereign!”
Countless beings prostrated themselves in devout worship, knowing that Li Luo was creating peace for all generations. Only Li Luo, having achieved the position of sovereign, could accomplish such a magnificent feat.
From this day forward, the power of merit in the world can limit the spread of evil thoughts.
Without sufficient accumulation of evil thoughts, the dark world will gradually merge into the Divine Continent, and no more alien or evil beings will arise.
Li Luo surveyed the world; he could sense that as he became the supreme ruler, the Divine Continent seemed to be completely activated. The boundary was gradually expanding, and those lost parts of the Divine Continent would gradually return.
The Divine Continent would reach unprecedented glory in the future.
After a long period of chaos, everything ended in his hands.
This story would finally come to an end.
However, there were still many things to finish, which he needed to do…
While
the world was immersed in the celebration of surviving the calamity, Li Luo’s figure appeared somewhere in the Divine Continent, a forbidden zone that even the Divine Fruit Heavenly King dared not easily set foot in, for it was a terrifying illusion.
This illusion, created by Bai Mengmeng at the cost of her eternal damnation, trapped a Divine Fruit Demon King within it.
Jiang Tianwang and his companions had previously come here, attempting to break the illusion and awaken Bai Mengmeng from it, but ultimately refrained from acting due to a lack of confidence and fear of causing Bai Mengmeng negative effects.
However, all of this seemed insignificant in Li Luo’s eyes now.
A profound light flowed in his pupils; he had pierced through the illusion that even the Divine Fruit Heavenly King feared. He saw into the deepest part of the illusion, a girl curled up, her pure and beautiful face occasionally flashing with fear.
This terrifying illusion must have been hellish for Bai Mengmeng, who was already timid.
Yet, she still chose this resolute path without hesitation,
simply because she had no other choice.
Li Luo opened his mouth and gently exhaled a ball of flame, which silently spread and instantly burned the terrifying illusion to ashes.
The space gradually returned to normal.
Li Luo reached out and caught the petite figure who had fallen from the illusion in his arms, saying with a smile, “Hey, Mengmeng, it’s time to wake up.”
Hearing his call, Bai Mengmeng’s thick, brush-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her bright, watery eyes. She looked at the familiar face that came into view, paused for a moment, and then murmured, “Another illusion like this?”
Then she was about to close her eyes.
Li Luo chuckled, and just as he was about to speak, a terrifying aura of evil suddenly erupted from within the illusion—the “Great Demon King of the Abyss,” sealed within it.
“Hehehe, I never thought I’d actually escape one day!”
The towering demonic figure roared with elation.
Bai Mengmeng suddenly opened her eyes, her face pale as she stared at Li Luo, and cried out urgently, “Be careful! The Great Demon King of the Abyss has also escaped the illusion…”
However, before she could finish speaking, she saw Li Luo extend his palm and strike the Great Demon King of the Abyss from afar. The Great Demon King of the Abyss, who had once driven her to the brink of despair, was shattered into wisps of black smoke without even uttering a scream, vanishing into thin air.
Bai Mengmeng stared wide-eyed in shock at this scene.
Li Luo released his arm and put her down, saying, “Mengmeng, it’s all over.”
“Let’s go, I’ll take you back to Great Xia.”
He smiled, and the space around him shifted, reappearing in Great Xia City.
Before him, two people were excitedly embracing each other because of the end of the chaos in the world.
They were Yu Lang and Bai Doudou.
They hadn’t noticed the sudden appearance of Li Luo and Bai Mengmeng, and Li Luo hadn’t warned them either, simply watching with interest as the two passionately kissed. As their desire intensified, Bai Mengmeng finally couldn’t take it anymore, her face flushed as she cried out, “Sister!”
“Ah!”
Bai Doudou awoke with a start, only then realizing the two standing before her. She couldn’t help but cry out, her hand clenching into a spear that flashed forth, ready to strike.
But the next moment, the spear froze, for she saw Bai Mengmeng’s tear-streaked face.
Clang.
The spear fell from Bai Doudou’s hand. Trembling, she looked at Bai Mengmeng, tears streaming down her face. Finally, she rushed forward and hugged Bai Mengmeng tightly, her voice trembling, “Mengmeng! Mengmeng! Is it really you?”
Bai Mengmeng wiped away her tears and nodded, “Sister, it’s me who’s back.”
Bai Doudou could no longer contain her emotions and burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. Over the years, her longing for Bai Mengmeng had driven her to madness. If it weren’t for Yu Lang’s companionship, she didn’t know how she would have survived.
Fortunately, her sister, whom she thought she would never see again, had returned.
Li Luo watched the sisters embrace and cry, then smiled at Yu Lang beside him. The latter looked at him, licked his lips, and rubbed his hands together, saying, “Your status is too high now. I don’t know what to say. How about I kowtow first?”
“If you’re so polite, I can accept it,” Li Luo nodded and smiled.
“Huh?” Yu Lang was dumbfounded. Good heavens, so impolite? Since that’s the case, then don’t blame me.
Yu Lang’s legs went weak, and he immediately kowtowed.
But before he could even kowtow, he felt dizzy. When he regained his senses, he found himself still standing in the same spot, and he chuckled.
Li Luo smiled and reached out to pat Yu Lang’s shoulder.
The next moment, Yu Lang suddenly felt a burning sensation in his body, and then he froze, because he realized that the Appearance Palace, which had been completely dissolved by the “Primal Appearance Technique” before, was now growing back.
Yu Lang’s expression froze. The disappearance of the Appearance Palace was a problem that even the Divine Fruit Heavenly King couldn’t solve in this world, but now, with a light pat from Li Luo, it had been successfully restored.
“You could try the path of the Myriad Forms Seed in the future,” Li Luo said with a smile. At this moment, Yu Lang’s Form Palace was completely empty, making it perfect for him to pursue the path of the Myriad Forms Seed. After resolving the issue with his Form Palace, Li Luo also passed on the cultivation method of the Myriad Forms Seed.
However, this path truly only leads to the Myriad Forms Seed and cannot transform into the Formless Seed.
Yu Lang’s eyes gradually reddened, tears welling up. Over the years, his Form Palace and Aspect of Nature had disappeared. Although he appeared indifferent, he could not truly let go. Now, Li Luo had given him a new life.
Yu Lang looked at the smiling man before him. He knew that the man’s status was completely different now. He was the “Lord of the World,” and even Heavenly King level experts would hold him in awe.
But Yu Lang could still sense that Li Luo still maintained the same mindset when facing these old acquaintances.
Compared to the sincere young man he was at Nanfeng Academy back then, Li Luo had changed a lot, yet he hadn’t truly changed.
Li Luo looked at the emotionally charged Yu Lang, smiled, and extended his fist, just like when the two boys first met at the academy.
Yu Lang extended his fist and bumped it with his, saying softly, “Li Luo, thank you.”
Then he hesitated for a moment and asked, “I have a question for you…”
“Go ahead.”
“What about Qing’er?”
Li Luo was silent for a few breaths, the image of that icy woman flashing through his mind. She had ultimately chosen to self-destruct without hesitation, buying him time.
“I will find a way to revive her,” he said.
Yu Lang looked at him and said, “Her self-destruction was thorough, leaving not a trace of her aura. Perhaps that was her attitude and choice. I don’t doubt your ability to revive her, but…”
Faced with this question, even Li Luo, the ruler of the world, sighed softly and then turned to leave.
Afterwards, Li Luo appeared throughout the Ten Great Continents. With incredible supernatural powers, he resurrected some Heavenly King-level powerhouses who had self-destructed to protect him during the previous Battle of Unity.
However, not all Heavenly Kings were resurrected; only those whose aura remained could be resurrected.
But as Yu Lang said, Li Luo couldn’t find any trace of Lü Qing’er’s aura.
Her self-destruction was too thorough, destroying everything about her, including even the slightest trace of her presence.
Li Luo stood in the eternal frozen earth where Lü Qing’er had perished, his expression complex. Lü Qing’er’s aura had vanished completely. Perhaps she knew she possessed the means of resurrection, so she deliberately left completely, not wanting to leave any lingering thoughts.
Li Luo stretched out his palm, and a wisp of cold energy emanated from his body, condensing into an ice lotus seed in his palm.
This was the “Heavenly Lotus Cold Energy.”
Long ago, in the Lingxiang Cave Heaven, Li Luo met Lü Qing’er. He helped her obtain the “Ice God Lotus,” and Lü Qing’er extracted the “Heavenly Lotus Cold Energy” from it and gave it to him.
This cold energy later helped Li Luo forge his Ice Form.
Lü Qing’er’s aura had dissipated into the world, but within this wisp of “Heavenly Lotus Cold Energy,” a trace of longing remained.
Li Luo held the ice lotus seed in his hand, remaining silent for a long time. Then, he flicked his fingers to separate the frozen soil and placed the ice lotus seed deep within the earth.
He nurtured it with the most extreme ice-level power in the world, hoping that the lotus seed would one day bloom.
…
The chaos that had raged for so long finally ended with Li Luo’s ascension to the position of “World Ruler.”
The Divine Continent ushered in an unprecedented period of peace.
The fortune of heaven and earth, which had been overdrawn by the Heavenly Luck over the past ten years, recovered at an astonishing speed under Li Luo’s impetus, and the Divine Continent ushered in unprecedented development and growth.
Heavenly Kings emerged one after another, forging a magnificent golden age.
And in that glorious era, within the Luo Lan Mansion in the Great Xia City, red candles were lit.
The small Luo Lan Mansion was now the most prestigious place in the world, and even Heavenly Kings found it difficult to enter.
And tonight, the Luo Lan Mansion was welcoming a special moment.
A small but extraordinary wedding was being held here.
Few were present. Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan sat in the main seats, while Li Jingzhe, Li Qingpeng, Li Jinpan, Yan Changsheng, Yu Lang, and other relatives and friends were also seated, all watching the beautiful couple standing in the hall with beaming smiles.
Under the red candlelight, Jiang Qing’e, adorned in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown, radiated an unprecedentedly bright and beautiful face.
Li Luo, holding her hand, knelt and bowed to Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan in front of everyone as witnesses.
Under the red candlelight, the man and woman gazed at each other, their eyes filled with tender smiles.
This marriage, forged in their childhood, had finally completed its final ceremony at this moment.
…
A hundred years later.
The Divine Continent had evolved from the original ten continents into forty-nine, its prosperity shining like the sun, its power reaching the heavens.
Saint Xuan Star Academy.
No, this former Saint Academy had now been upgraded, not to an ancient academy, but to become the only “Divine Academy” in the Divine Continent.
Therefore, its name has now been changed to “Shenxuan Star Academy.”
This is because the academy’s dean is none other than the current “World Ruler,” Li Luo.
This was something he had promised Pang Qianyuan.
At this moment, inside a magnificent hall within the academy, top geniuses from all over the Divine Continent sat upright, awaiting their instructor’s arrival for the day’s lecture.
Low whispers arose within the hall.
“I heard today’s instructor is an extremely beautiful woman, and she hasn’t been at the academy long.”
“Oh? She’s only been here a short time, yet she dares to teach?”
“I heard she has very strong connections.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. In this academy, even the Lords only dare to follow the academy rules. What kind of connections would dare to use them here?”
“I heard… she was recommended by the World Ruler.”
Upon hearing this, the arrogant geniuses in the hall fell silent. That name inherently carried an unspeakable sense of oppression, making it impossible for anyone to laugh or talk about it. They could only exchange bewildered glances, then filled with boundless curiosity.
Suddenly, faint footsteps echoed outside the hall.
Then, amidst the curious and awe-inspiring gazes of the many prodigies, a chilling current seemed to flow through the air, condensing into frost on the ground. The next moment, a graceful woman with long, icy blue hair stepped into the hall, her figure exquisite.
Her face was like that of an ice goddess, radiating a chilling aura. Her long hair, cascading to her waist, seemed to be formed from thousands of fine ice crystals, swirling and colliding with a light, melodious sound.
The many prodigies in the hall dared not offend her and rose to pay their respects.
The woman’s icy blue eyes gazed upon the unruly young faces, and for a moment, she felt a slight sense of disorientation. She recalled scenes from this place years ago, but those were many years ago.
The next moment, her clear, melodious voice, flowing with an icy clarity, resonated throughout the hall.
“My surname is Lü. You can call me Master Lü from now on.”
“Yes, Master Lü!”
Everyone responded respectfully.
The woman’s clear and melodious voice echoed in the hall as she taught the many prodigies.
After a long while, when the bell rang to signal the end of class, the woman stopped lecturing. Her beautiful face was as calm as an ice lake. She didn’t communicate much with any of the students, but silently organized her lecture notes before turning to leave. However,
as she walked out of the hall, she seemed to sense something and looked up. Her gaze pierced through space, and she saw two figures standing side by side atop a star tower in the distance.
A man and a woman.
Their eyes met, and a faint smile appeared on the woman named Master Lü’s snow-white face as she nodded in greeting.
On the star tower, Li Luo withdrew his gaze.
Over the course of a century, his appearance remained unchanged, but his aura grew ever more unfathomable. When his abyss-like gaze swept across the Divine Land, even the highest-ranking experts of the Sovereign Realm couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease and awe, marveling at the incredible power of their sovereign.
Beside him was Jiang Qing’e.
Jiang Qing’e had also reached the Sovereign Realm, but the path she had chosen was not the “Sovereign Realm” pioneered by Li Luo. Instead, like him in the past, she had chosen a far more arduous path: to attain the Tenth Grade of the Radiant Aspect.
This path led to the position of “Supreme Lord,” a level higher than any other Sovereign Realm expert in the world.
Her peerless beauty, imbued with that sacred aura, exuded an aura that inspired awe and reverence.
“The Dark World is about to completely merge into the Divine Continent.” At this moment, Jiang Qing’e’s golden eyes pierced through the void, gazing at the Dark World that had once brought endless chaos to the Divine Continent. The evil thoughts there had completely dissipated, gradually merging with the Divine Continent. Once the fusion was complete, this would cause the world’s fortune and status to rise once again.
Li Luo nodded slightly. In his ears, he seemed to hear the roar produced by the fusion of worlds. All the will of the world gathered in his heart, and he could change the world with his thoughts.
After the Dark World completely merged into the Divine Continent, the river of time seemed to become even longer, and Li Luo also glimpsed more unknown secrets.
“Qing’e.”
“Hmm?”
“Do you know the origin of the aliens?”
“Isn’t it because of the source of all evil?”
“Then what is the origin of the source of all evil?”
Jiang Qing’e was stunned. Wasn’t the source of all evil born from the negative emotions of the beings in the Divine Continent? Did Li Luo’s words mean that the source of all evil was not born from this?
Li Luo’s calm voice came: “Although the Dark World accumulates negative emotions in the world, giving rise to evil, this ‘source of all evil’ did not originate from the negative emotions of the Divine Continent.” “
On the contrary, it is precisely because of its existence that the negative emotions of the Dark World converged, transforming into a cataclysmic calamity earlier than originally planned.”
Jiang Qing’e’s expression gradually became solemn. She asked, “Then where does this ‘source of all evil’ come from?”
Li Luo looked up, his profound gaze piercing through countless spaces, reaching the end of the world, and calmly said, “Naturally, it comes from outside the world.”
“Outside the world?!” Jiang Qing’e’s heart trembled.
Li Luo nodded slightly, somewhat感慨地 said, “Since I became the ruler of the Divine Continent, this world has reached its peak. I can sense that there are heavens beyond heavens, and boundaries beyond boundaries, which is called the universe.”
The river of time surged in Li Luo’s eyes, and extremely ancient scenes, piercing through time and space, entered his vision.
He saw everything.
In ancient times, an extremely terrifying being once passed through the Divine Continent. It lingered outside this undeveloped world, its gaze filled with covetousness and a profound scheme, observing it for a long time.
It discovered the immense potential this world contained, and that no supreme being had yet been born within it.
However, at this time, the world was not yet connected to the outside world; the world’s barrier was extremely tight, and the terrifying being could not forcibly shake it. Therefore, it ultimately exhausted all means, even sacrificing its own essence and resources, to send something into the Divine Continent.
After completing this scheme, the terrifying being lingered for a long time before gradually disappearing.
“The source of all evil is that it sent into the Divine Continent?” Jiang Qing’e’s voice rang out. Because Li Luo was holding her hand, she also witnessed these scenes.
“What does He want to do?”
Li Luo said calmly, “It’s a seed.”
“A seed?”
Li Luo nodded and said, “A true seed of resurrection. He’s using the negative emotions of the Divine Continent to nurture that seed. This is a backup plan He’s devised. It seems He’s about to do something big, something He’s not absolutely certain of, so He buried this seed of resurrection in the Divine Continent. If He fails and perishes in the future, He can use this seed of resurrection to be reborn in our world.”
Jiang Qing’e’s eyes flashed with coldness. So the root cause of the prolonged chaos in the Divine Continent was actually a backup plan left by this being from beyond the realm.
This was the real culprit!
“No need to be angry. This seed of resurrection has been completely destroyed, and I think its fate won’t be good,” Li Luo said.
“Oh? It failed?”
Jiang Qing’e was somewhat surprised. That terrifying being’s power was unbelievably strong; perhaps only Li Luo in his current state could defeat it. And now, even such a being had failed?
“It’s better that it failed. It saves me the trouble of finding it again in the future and settling this karmic debt.”
Li Luo spoke calmly. The other party had caused such a calamity in the Divine Continent, and the karmic debt was too heavy. If it were still alive, Li Luo would definitely have to settle it personally.
Jiang Qing’e nodded and said, “Then it really is unlucky. Of all places to put the seed of resurrection, it had to be in the Divine Continent. If you hadn’t finally destroyed the source of all evil, it might have actually been able to be resurrected.”
Upon hearing this, Li Luo couldn’t help but laugh.
“What are you laughing at?” Jiang Qing’e asked in confusion.
“I’m laughing because even if it could have been resurrected, it would probably still be doomed.” Li Luo said.
“Why?”
Li Luo gazed beyond the world, his expression enigmatic. “Because this unlucky fellow has offended too many people. Others have already followed the traces of cause and effect and found this place.”
Li Luo’s gaze pierced through the barrier of the world. He saw in the distant lands beyond the boundary, in a void filled with vast thunderous energy, an ancient dragon shadow vaguely appeared. The dragon shadow exuded the primordial chaos of creation, the aura of an ancient ancestor. On the
dragon shadow, a majestic figure sat cross-legged, his gaze as deep and unfathomable as a prison, fixed upon him.
“Congratulations on achieving the status of a Great Realm Venerable.” The figure seated on the ancestral dragon uttered a gentle, ancient laugh.
Li Luo nodded in greeting, then his gaze shifted again, turning to another, even more distant direction. Beyond the endless boundary beyond the reach of time, a majestic light was released, illuminating all realms. In that vast and boundless radiance of power, three magnificent figures exuding an aura of unparalleled power could be vaguely seen standing.
Their gaze pierced through the distant boundaries of space and time, meeting Li Luo’s gaze with a distant bow.
At that moment, a vast, resounding laugh seemed to drift from afar.
“Thank you, New Lord, for helping my Great Thousand World eliminate future troubles.”
[The Grand Finale.
Unbeknownst to many, the story of the King of Myriad Forms has come to an end.
While feeling a sense of relief, we also feel a pang of sadness at parting from this four-year journey. Thank you all for your companionship over the past four years; we have once again witnessed the growth of this young man.
May a young man forever reside in our hearts.]
